Very soon, a group of people charged upstairs and dragged the female waitress down. By now, her mouth was covered with black duct tape, and she couldn't make a single sound. Even so, she still had a

deadly look in her eyes.

Still feeling frantic, Jeremy Quest hurriedly ran downstairs and over to Xyla Quest.

Jeremy placed his trembling hands on Xyla's shoulder. "Xyla... How... How are you? Are you alright?" He stammered.

"I'm fine, Dad. Don't worry," Xyla said and shook her head.

After carefully examining Xyla's body, Jeremy pulled her into his arms. "Thank goodness you're alright... Thank goodness you're alright..."

Xyla allowed Jeremy to hug her. Slowly, her heart rate became stable.

After hugging Xyla for a long while, Jeremy finally let go of her carefully. He then turned to look at Christopher. "Thank you for saving my daughter," Jeremy said.

"You're welcome," Christopher replied with a smile.

After that, Christopher suddenly stopped smiling and turned to look at the auction host. "Tell your manager that we'll make the payment later..."
